Testimonials

“Working with Jim and the Black-Peak team has helped our field engineering operations tremendously.  After identifying our needs, Black-Peak identified and on boarded 6 contract controls engineers to commission PLC’s, HMI and Instrumentation in the field for a 1 year contract for automated fracking sites.  By providing us with qualified staff, we had minimal downtime for training and we noticed a very quick ramp up, which resulted in completing the project 2 months early for a 430k cost savings.    We are in the midst of hiring Black-Peak again to supply additional contract controls engineers for a smaller sized project. “George
Automation Group Leader – Oil & Gas

“After procuring 2 contracts through our sales group I was tasked to bring in PLC programmers with Industrial Network skills.  We were installing a complete automation systems including Rockwell Automation ControlLogix with FactoryTalk HMI for 3 foods process facilities.  Our staff was already overbooked and there was potential to lose the project if we could not get resources out within 4 weeks.  I had been referred to contact Black-Peak and it certainly paid off, because we had some very good people onsite within the timeframes we needed and after solving some complex issues with the commissioning work, we landed additional projects with our customer.  I’m still amazed at the level of understanding of the skills and talents we needed and the hard work Black-Peak endured to make things happen.  We had an option for direct hire, and we ended up hiring several of Black-Peak’s contract PLC programmers and engineers to work for us directly at the end of the contract.  This was a win-win. “Kyle, VP of Engineering
Systems Integration & Automation

“The fastest turn-around on qualified people I have seen, consistently.   From the initial meeting to all pre-employment verifications, they are fast and understand the business we’re in.  Unlike some traditional staffing agencies, I felt Black-Peak knew our needs and recommended people we could start quickly.  Now, we’re on year 5 with Jim and the Black-Peak team and they continue to approach each project with high standards.   With the experienced contract labor provided, we came in under budget on a few of the projects and have a total savings of $2.7M. “Laura, Industrial Automation Project Leader
